Could we please have a separate "Colorist Department"
The role of Colorist and related jobs such as color timer, conforming, finishing, versioning, HDR etc. really need to be in their own category. It can be very hard to find who did the grading and finishing on a project, colorists are scattered between editorial, visual effects and maybe some other departments at the moment. Also listing Colorists in editorial is very misleading and confuses people about the responsibilities of the colorists and associates. For a good description of possible colorist duties see https://coloristsociety.com/role-of-the-colorist

1- No, it doesn't come straight like this from the camera
2- It wasn't graded by the editor either
3- And now, the tasks are highly diversified...

I agree that it doesn't make sense for the colourist (or any of the above-mentioned finishing departments) to live in an editorial.
30 years ago it may have been that everyone worked in the same dept as that, but nowadays, the editorial dept is very much separate from the people responsible for the finishing of a digital film.

I fully support this idea and encourage IMDb to create a "Color Department" with the following roles:
